Mother Gong - 'Live at the Uncon'
 Gilli Smyth first started performing with
Soft Machine in the sixties when the band played their mixture of
poetry/music gigs. Gilli became more active as a performer following
the formation of Gong with her partner Daevid Allen following his
departure from Soft Machine in 1968. Following her
departure with Allen from Paris following the Paris riots of late 1968
Gilli along with Allen decamped to Spain although the duo once again
returned to France in 1969 where the second edition of Gong became a
reality. Gilli was the only woman in the band for a while and developed
her "Space Whisper" which became an integral part of the Gong sound.
